Trying to hold on!

My husband and I have been married for 5 yrs. together for 7. We had been trying for years--really like all 7---to get pregnant. Nothing ever happened until last year January 09 I found out I was pregnant after years and years of trying only to loose the pregnancy at 6 wks. We were devastated. We are still trying, however, I am becoming more and more discouraged. Seeing all these pregnant women around makes me soso sad and sometimes angry. I try not to let it bother me; but now I'm back to crying anytime I see a pregnant woman or a baby. It hurts so bad I don't know what to do anymore. We've prayed just hoping one day God will hear our prayers again. Gabby your story really helps, because I can totally relate to every word pretty much. Thank all you ladies and I'll keep you all in my prayers.

have faith!

My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for about 2 years. He has zero to no sperm production. So we tried ICI (inter cervical insemination) 3 cycles with no success. We took a break for about 3 months. It is so devistating when af just keeps coming month after month. I needed a break to build up my courage to try again. I go in this month to try IUI. We have decided to try for 6 cycles. I hope it only takes one. I pray a lot and that really helps, because its all in gods hands!! Keep faith and you will be blessed!! God bless!! Jenny

dont stress

Okay one thing is youy cannot stress that can make it alot harder for you to concieve. I know a women that had tried to concieve a child for 9 Yrs and with the same man married all that time. Her husband supported her and never left her side. She went to the doctor and they gave her some treatments it took awhile but when she least expected it she was pregnant and she now has a beautiful daughter oh my gosh has these really big green eyes and silky dark hair. She didnt give up dont think about it too much have sex out love cause it will be in the back of your mind that you only have sex to get pregnant.

PCOS

Not sure havent been to the doctor yet, but I am fairly certain I have PCOS. I have all the symptoms. I am over weight and went on a diet to lose weight because they say losing just a little weight can help you conceive. I didnt lose a pound. PCOS makes it almost impossible for you to lose weight. My fiancee and I have been together for 5 1/2 years have been trying for about three years. Every time I see a pregnant woman I have to close my eyes and turn away before I start crying. I feel so hopeless. I feel like I will never have a baby. Reading all of these other stories, it makes me feel better knowing I'm not the only one who feels this way.
